Football boss guessed - what will Messi and Ronaldo play...
Ever since Lionel Messi played in a friendly game in Saudi Arabia, there are speculations over a possible move of the Argentine superstar to the Middle Eastern country.
Now recent comments by Saudi Arabian Football Federation SAFF General Secretary Ibrahim Alkassim have given credence to these rumours.
While speaking to Marca, Alkassim suggested that SAFF would like to see Messi in the Saudi Pro League.
“At the moment we do not know anything about a possible Lionel Messi arrival.
Although I will not hide that, as the Saudi Federation, we would like to have him one day in the domestic league.
The idea of the Federation is always to improve our football, and of course we would like to see Cristiano and Messi in the same league again, but the truth is that we don’t know anything now,” Ibrahim Alkassim was quoted as saying to Marca.
Lionel Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain had locked horns with Cristiano Ronaldo-led Saudi All-Star XI in a blockbuster friendly match last week. Both Messi and Ronaldo played superbly in that match.
The friendly match ended with a 5-4 win for the Ligue 1 giants, which started with Messi getting on the scoresheet after only three minutes.
Cristiano Ronaldo completed a much-publicised move to Saudi Arabia club Al-Nassr in December 2022.
Therefore, die-hard football fans are hoping that Messi also moves to Saudi Arabia to play in the same league as the Portuguese star.
